endian dilemma

[Jerry Feldman]

I only mentioned integers. Floating point is similar in some respects. 
Also, there is a reasobably good discussion of endian conversion in the 
Tru64 Unix to HP-UX Itanium porting guide, which is available in html and 
pdf at http://www.tru64unix.compaq.com/docs/pub_page/porting.html
We put in some examples. The Alpha and Intel x86 machines have the same 
endianness, and you are doing 32 bits.
